# NAME

Test2::Util::DistFiles - gather files in a distribution

# VERSION

version v0.1.0

# SYNOPSIS

```perl
use Test2::V0;
use Test2::Util::DistFiles qw( manifest_files is_perl_file );

my @perl = manifest_files( \&is_perl_file);
```

# DESCRIPTION

This is a utility module that gathers lists files in a distribution, intended for author, or release tests for
developers.

# EXPORTS

## manifest\_files

```perl
my @files = manifest_files();

my @perl  = manifest_files( \&is_perl_file );
```

This returns a list of files from the `MANIFEST`, filtered by an optional function.

If there is no manifest, then it will use [ExtUtils::Manifest](https://metacpan.org/pod/ExtUtils%3A%3AManifest) to build a list of files that would be added to the
manifest.

## is\_perl\_file

This returns a list of Perl files in the distribution, excluding installation scaffolding like [Module::Install](https://metacpan.org/pod/Module%3A%3AInstall) files
in `inc`.

Note that it will include files like `Makefile.PL` or `Build.PL`.
